“He was put on the federal wanted list,” the TASS agency quotes.

According to the agency, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Magomed Alkhanov, who escaped from custody, was undergoing treatment in a psychiatric hospital in Astrakhan.

The name and date of birth of the escaped person coincide with the data of a member of Basayev's gang, Magomed Alkhanov, indicated in the list of terrorists and extremists on the Rosfinmonitoring website.

Alkhanov was detained in mid-June 2021 for participating in an attack on servicemen of the 6th paratrooper company of the Pskov Airborne Division.
